212 Grand

A very unassuming store front. In fact, i couldn’t even read the name aside from the words in biggest font: «212 Grand», so that’s what I’ll call it. But it’s doing just fine via pure word of mouth :)
Inside, the space is pretty small, but the counter has lots of asian/​Chinese snack and dessert foods, as well as pre-​made food-​to-​go type items more fitting for a meal (like noodles, fried chicken, beef, vegetables, etc). The ladies behind the counter speak enough english to help you out, and they are very friendly.
The main reason I found this place was to eat the hot tofu dessert with ginger sauce («dau hu» in vietnamese). It was fabulous. I wouldn’t have even known they sold this here from just looking at the outside. I was actually at Banh Mi Saigon a few doors down, and I asked the cashier there if she could help me find a place that sells tofu, and she said «just go across the street and you’ll see a storefront with lots of noodles on the street» lol I asked for the name of the place for clarification, and she didn’t know what it was called either, but she sure knew where to find just what I needed on a cold day :)
